I PURCHASED IT FOR MY CAR CARE NEEDS AND ITS WORTH THE INVESTMENT. GOT TIRED OF PAYING FOR VAC SERVICE AT THE GAS STATION OR CAR WASH LOTS AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH SUCTION POWER TO GET MY CARPET CLEAN OR TIMER RUNNING OUT BEFORE I COULD FINISH. NO MORE! I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL VAC THAT DELIVERS EXCELLENT POWER. OH! HAD POOR DRYING POWER FROM MY DRYER AND DECIDED TO SUCK OUT THE OUTSIDE VENT WITH THIS UNIT AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE WAS NESTING AND LINT BUILD UP BLOCKING THE VENT. SUCKED IT OUT AND DRYER IS WORKING LIKE NEW AGAIN.
